Russafa

What began as a recreational area of Abd Allah al-Balansi prince, back in the 9th century – which gave it its name – and later, the place where the troops of Jaime I in 1238 began the christian conquest of the city against the arabs. Now, after years of true abandonment and marginality, it has become the focus of all eyes, refuge of artists and designers, paradigm of the modern and alternative, you will find many restaurants and bars to enjoy a nice evening and also a long night out if you are up to.

Not to much to sightsee, but a lot of coffee shops, restaurants, local art and designers stores. Also some 2nd hand clothes shops. Locals go around 18:30 to enjoy the after work beer. Main streets are Cadiz, Sueca, Literato Azorín, Puerto Rico and Cuba.
